– Sr. Innovation Manager

Collective Wisdom has the perfect balance of strategic thinking and facilitation skills. Brian has the ability to make each person in the room feel like they are independently important, thus ensuring that all voices are heard and buy in is 100% clear. He can take those independent voices and drive to consensus, or when necessary drive to alternative points of view that can challenged, broken down and rebuilt again to be a stronger voice of one.  My favorite part about the workshops CW has facilitated in the past is flexibility. Brian goes with the energy of the group rather than sticking with a schedule or timeline. Because he knows the ultimate objective of the workshops, he can easily adapt on the fly to ensure that the room remains dynamically engaged. One of the best moderators I have ever experienced.

-  Consumer Insights Director

Brian is an excellent facilitator. He knows how to encourage the right amount of dialogue, debate and interaction with meeting attendees. He makes meetings fun, and participants leave energized ready to tackle the issues. I highly recommend him for any facilitation. He gets results.
